I have been a fan of Nick Lowe for a long time. I remember the days of his first solo recordings, but not Brinsley Schwarz. I loved his production of Elvis Costello. His music with Rockpile was legendary. I like his current music too, and thought that "The Beast in Me" was a great addition to the soundtrack of The Sopranos. There have been two CDs of his that I have been after for a long time, his first one Pure Pop for Now People and Labour of Lust. Well, PPfNP is now back in print, bearing the title of its UK incarnation, Jesus of Cool. Painstakingly remastered and with a whole host of bonus cuts, the album is a great package. Yep Roc Records did a great job with this. Thank you Yep Roc and please bring Labour of Lust back into print next!

Watchmen Movie Progressing Nicely
Recently I have been directing readers from my main site (in mysteriously placed links, 'natch) to the Watchmen movie site, for the sole reason that I am excited about the film's energy and potential at the box office (Easter Egg: There is also another hidden but shamelessly blatant plug link on the page). In just the last couple days, costumes were revealed for most all of the major characters. There will be lots more information to come as the film is in post-production and counts down the year to release. Also, check out this MTV interview with Jackie Earle Haley, who portrays the legendary anti-hero Rorschach.

Lost: Season 4
First off, it was announced within the last couple
days that Lost will be returning for Season 4 on
Thursday, January 31, 2008 at 9:00 pm on ABC. Thank
the gods...the long, interminable wait is almost over.
Thought you guys would enjoy this if you have not
already seen it. A trailer for Lost Season 4 has been
released on YouTube.com. It contains a ton of
mysterious and thought-provoking stuff. This link is
to the Lost blog site that has a high-quality version
of the trailer and a slow-motion version as well as 30
screenshots from it.
Yes, this is the same site that had the breakdown of
the first shadowy silhouette images of Jacob from last
season.
Hope you enjoy that. I must have replayed the trailer
10 or 15 times and I'm totally jazzed to hop into my
time machine and jaunt up to 1/31/08 RIGHT NOW!
Discuss! :)

The Obligatory November 2007 Post
And one peculiar point I see,
As one of many ones of me.
As truth is gathered I rearrange,
Inside out, outside in, inside out, outside in,
Perpetual change.
